I like to pride myself on the fact that I eat healthy and take good care of myself, and rarely get sick. All this “pride” goes out the window, however, when a few times a year a bug manages to make itself cozy and I end up suffering through a week of having a stuffy nose and scratchy throat. Though there is never a good time to get sick, I feel like when I do start to feel bad, it’s my body’s way of telling me that I need to slow down. I also pride myself on going a mile a minute–sadly this does catch up with me. Last night I slept for 11 hours; the last time I slept this much was probably in middle school when I thought it was cool to sleep the day away.

So, in order to obey my body, I will take it easy today, drink a lot of water, juice, and ginger shots, and just hope that all of this is enough to make this thing go away ASAP because being sick is really not fun.
